so much to write about and so little time...

I'm excited about another new friend on the blogging block...welcome zephaniah317! This getting fun...

So, I'm supposed to be headed out the door for work and am instead sitting here blogging...is that a sign of a problem? I just can't decide what to post today. I've got some great stuff I read in Romans (along the lines of the Acts learnings) OR I could talk about the very passionate discussion our service planning team had yesterday about 'high church', liturgy, stale ritual vs. life-giving tradition.

Can I take a vote? What would you like to hear??

In the meantime, I need to get to work! I'll leave with this thought from Romans 3:23ish - 26ish (the Message)

Since we've compiled this long and sorry record as sinners...and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, GOD DID IT FOR US!!! (yipppeeee!)Out of sheer generosity he puts us in right standing with himself. A pure gift.He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wantes us to be. And he did it by the means of Jesus Christ... This is...NOW -- this is current history.God sets things right.He also makes it possible for us to live in his rightness.YAY, GOD!!! I am forever grateful....

I am Tamara Murphy: born and raised in a cynical, smalltown Northeast still harboring a penchant for hope and big ideas. Now I live in the bright city of Austin, Texas with my audacious and often-homesick family: two daughters, two sons, one husband.

I believe in the power of the written word. I read and write words to make friends with the ancient, present and future. I write to encourage both you and me to see God's presence through daily practices of art, liturgy and relationship.
